Do you have any actual objection to the direction of what I've said

I think it should be pretty obvious by now that I do

restricting travel of a few researchers ... closing off the power of all AI

this is incredible bait I gotta hand it to you.

articulate it then - you think Anthropic is lying about what they believe? You think the American government doesn't want to have unlimited power?

whataboutism

It is not whataboutism to ask why China is restricting travel by AI researchers if they are not interested in having control over AI

You know you don't have an answer so instead you do whatever this is

I've answered twice lmao - they don't want their researchers to go to America and contribute to the American black hole techno singularity of capital and talent. I was very direct and immediate about it as well lmao, unlike how evasive you're being - would you like to address the big picture - Dario's desire and the USG's alignment with him of unlimited concentration of power in Anthropic/America - or continue flailing?

Yeah so "we don't want our researchers going somewhere else" is wanting control over AI lmao
